I have some plans, and I'm starting to think I was a little over ambitious.

I have four URC-7955 One For All Smart Control remote controls. These are the ones with the bluetooth app that is rubbish.

I have this entertainment system setup, with CCTV/TV/PC sent over HDMI into every room of the house, with IR over HDMI sending control signals back to the origin point. It works perfectly with the original remote controls but I wanted one universal remote in each room that would be programmed to control all devices. The CCTV system and the HDMI multi-viewer have remote controls and I have been trying to learn the commands onto my universal remote manually, since they won't be in the codelist obviously.

I was planning on setting up one remote by using the learn function and then cloning the settings from one remote onto the other four. So I've started setting up the first one. I've learned quite a lot of buttons, but have come stuck on several keys. It just won't learn them. I started to worry that the memory was full, but when I e-mailed O4A they said my device can learn about 400 commands. That should be more than enough for my usage. When I press the original remote button, the O4A magic light blinks once, but not very long.
A) Was their answer correct or is the memory more limited?
B) Is there any trick to learning keys? Does taking the batteries out to reset the remote ever help? Does reprogramming the device to another codeset ever help etc? OR am I wasting my time?

Secondly, the cloning I was planning on doing. This isn't possible with the O4A app, much to my disappointment. So I bought a JP1 cable and have installed some JP1 software, but the URC7955 isn't supported right now. I have seen a few threads, but don't understand much.
C) Do you think it will be possible to clone my programmed settings from one remote to another, using JP1 software. Or would this not be possible even if URC7955 was supported?

A) They are probably correct about the memory
B) Many tricks. Vary spacing (2-3 inches, not too far, not too close), use long presses, low ambient light works best. Codesets and resets do not come into play unless memory is full, which I don't think is the case.
C) Yes. Should be supported soon. Could get modified version of this poster's RMIR and try that.

The equipment I am using is :
Humax FVP-4000T (works mostly)
Windows Media Center (works mostly)
TMEZON CCTV DVR (learning all the buttons)
HDMI 4x1 Quad Multi-viewer (learning all the buttons)
Philips MCB204 HiFi (this one is a real pain, the remote is almost broken and most of the keys aren't on the O4A so I have to remap a lot of them to random keys that aren't useful on a hifi!)

Bottom line Tim, yes the learning memory is limited so you may not have enough to learn all of the devices at once, but there should be more than enough upgrade memory, so if you (or we) convert your learns into upgrades, you should be able to control all of your devices with the one remote._________________Rob
